Company background

Moneyfarm was founded in March 2011 by Paolo Galvani, chairman, and Giovanni Daprà, CEO. In March 2018 Moneyfarm launched digital Sipp a self-invested personal pension. [4] Moneyfarm operates from offices in London, Milan, and Cagliari. Moneyfarm received £96 million in backing from Allianz, Poste Italiane, Cabot Square Capital, and Venture Capital fund, United Ventures. [5]

Product

Moneyfarm creates a profile based on a customer's investment target and risk propensity. [6] Through the product, customers can invest in commodities, real estate, bonds, and stocks. In 2025, a customer must invest at least £500 to use MoneyFarm. [7] It offers investment funds with seven tiers of risk. The company periodically rebalances the investments in a customer's portfolio. Customers can enroll their funds in a environmental, social, and governance program which generally comes up with elevated fees. [8] The product allows customers to manage their own investments or to hire an independent financial advisor. [7]

The Guardian journalist Holly Mead praised the product for making viewing a portfolio's components straightforward. She cited the ability to see how funds are allocated across geographical areas, asset categories, and market segments, along with a clear overview of them. [8]
